Introduction
Toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection, varies in its prevalence in various countries. Some studies have suggested its role in the abortion. The aim of this study was to determine the role of anti-Toxoplasma antibody as an etiologic factor in recurrent pregnancy failure. Material And Methods
A case-control study was carried out on 120 women who unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (group I) with 50 women had matched with normal reproductive outcome allocated as control group. Sera from 120 cases and 50 controls were tested for anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibody by ELISA. Results
The present study revealed a higher percentage of anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies positivity in women with repeated abortions (17.5%) than control group (14%), although the difference between them was not statistically significant (p=0.7). Conclusion
The analysis of these results shows that in spite of proved role of Toxoplasma gondii in fetal abortion, it is still controversial; whatever toxoplasmosis can cause repeated abortion. Thus a study to associate toxoplasmosis with recurrent abortions is difficult because a large cohort of women with toxoplasmosis would be needed to assess the incidence of otherwise unexplained recurrent abortions in them compared with controls.Language:
